monday blues

i felt tired and lazy. slept in. didn't take my djembe to class. but it's ok, we weren't looking at my piece though... so, i've to bring it in on wednesday. ahh...more time to practice.

worked 3 hours only, but luckily A was so understanding and generous about my audition thingie and my empty stomach ;-) so, i went for audition from beginning til end. i'm kinda 'pissed' to see not all of my directing classmates were there. weren't we supposed to be there, mandatory? anyway, i shouldn't think negatively and grudge. by doing these, i'd feel so bad at myself and not creating good value. hehe... i did my part to my best, i should be proud of it. yes...even though to skip work to BE THERE from beginning til end. which means, i'd have to 'tie my stomach' (more likely to my desire to buy).

i auditioned too! did 'tongues', yes...pretty good ;-) i see most of the people who came for the audition, they were so nervous and they stumbled because they didn't take enough time to absorb the environment, drop into the character. well...i'm not saying all of them did badly... very few were good. hhmmm...i guess nervousness trapped their fullest potential to play out the character ;-)

some of us (directors) were 'fighting' for the same person/people! gee...how hard can it be?!! i hope i can get the people that i want. i just need a sexy mistress, a middle age bossy but timid in some way married woman, and a guy to play a 60 year old man! hmph!

came back from audition, J asked if i wanna join her and K for a dinner at macaroni grill (didn't know what they serve except - macaroni. duh!). ohh...actually, it's an italian chain restaurant. nice one too! they have this 'mahjong paper' on the table, with some crayons there for the customers to write/draw/sign. and of course, for the waitress to 'leave her mark' ;-) like, it's HER table...don't steal her customer/tips! :-P hahahaa... had a great dinner. J was so nice, she insisted that she pays for my dinner (we shared a pizza). i just had to cover the tip ;-) ahhh, she said, it's because i always make her dinner at home ;-) so sweeeeeet... hahaha, both of us! anyway, this restaurant, they serve 'all you can eat and drink' appetizer and soda - the bread and we dipped it in virgin oil and vinegar! wait...there's some 'leaves' in there too - basil? erm...the spices lah. :-P so unusual for me...hehehe, my first time...having bread with oil! hahaha... i felt like i was coming out from the jungle or small kampung or something like that. :-P hey! i'm so chinese when it comes to food, well...if i want to (my excuse)! how could i afford....back home....

ok. so, MT asked if i'd be able to act in his directing scene as well. same text as B's. hhmmmm...ok. why not, let's work with 2 directors with the same script! ;-)

know what, i heard an amazing fact today! i asked S if her milk has expiration date and she said yes...up to 72 hours. and if she put them in the freezer, it can last up to 6 months! wow!!! so much better than the milk from the grocery store! very organic and nutritious too! hahahaha... she's a very cool mum. she brings her pumping kit to class, and pump in class! waaahhhh...so open about it. well, of course she didn't reveal anything! it's a graduate class anyway...people are mature enough and cool about it (i just need to hide my awe :-P).

i need to shower... it's kinda cold... we don't have the heater on. gee! it's 69 fahrenheit/20 celcius! brrrr...

no theatre history class for this week! mid term will be postponed til next wednesday! hurrah! the ever so boring punya medieval chapter! eeeeeee! :-P
